My son refered to today's breakfast at the Silver Diner as a "skill issue". Nothing was 'bad', but it appears that the kitchen is disorganized. Starting with the best parts, the ambience of the restaurant is fine. It is similar to the Silver diner in Rockville, which I have taken my family to many times. Personal service was also fine. The wait person was friendly, professional, and cheerful. Apparently it was her 50th birthday, and she treated everybody in our area like we were extensions of her family. I give her credit for making the best of some unfortunate errors. The food was problematic. The coffee arrived cool. Not hot, not lukewarm, but the temperature of tapwater. We placed our orders when the coffee came, and received our food relatively quickly. Unfortunately, parts of the order were incorrect. My basted eggs came out poached; my apple chicken sausages came out as bacon. When I questioned the eggs, I was told that this was how their chef made fried eggs. I didn't make an issue of it, assuming that the cook didn't know what 'basted' meant, and my son's food was fine. It turned out that several orders were mixed together. The waitperson checked, and eventually brought out additional fried eggs and sausage. They did warm up our coffee with a new pot, which was great. The orange juice that I had ordered as part of the meal never did arrive. The new order of eggs were slightly overcooked, with solid yokes. The potatoes were cooked, but were soft and flavorless. We ended up taking our food to go. As I mentioned, the service was noteworthy, and we may try the restaurant again, but on an afternoon or evening shift instead of the morning shift. read more

My word is all I can say. Do not go to this Silver Dine EVER. The food was very dry as u can see by the pic. First SD I have been to where the manager didn't walk around to see how things were going. It wasn't even busy. OUr waiter was nice but food took a while to come out and it was dry. This is what happens when you travel out side of Silver Spring Md Silver Diner where the food is fresh and well seasoned and NOT dry. Very disappointed. Will never return to this location. read more

My experience was amazing wings are crispy & delicious! Milkshakes are bomb ! Definitely will be returning

Friendly fast service even during a busy, peak lunch shift? Score! Aside from the fact that I love Silver Diner's healthy and vegetarian-friendly options, I respect a team who can shuffle around getting orders in quick and out right AND still help their tables with a smile. From Pick-Two lunch options (soup, salad or sandwich combo), corned beef sandwich, fish n chips, short-rib burger and even pancakes from the kids menu, everything has good flavor. If you're wondering how "kickin" the crab and corn chowder is, it's pretty mild. (Good for me) read more

I came here with a few girl friends over the weekend for brunch. Our server Meghan was great and super friendly! She recommended the iced brewchata drink and it was absolutely delicious! We started with the salmon avocado toast for the table and it was a great size and really good. For my meal I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette that came with a biscuit and home fries. I really enjoyed the omelette and biscuit but the home fries I felt could have used some extra seasoning and weren't as crispy as I had expected. Our waitress even let us split our checks three different ways at the end, which I appreciated because most servers I encounter never want to split them. I'll definitely be back here again! read more

Note: this is a chain. Music from the 50s to the 80's plays overhead at a gentle volume. Don't expect just your typical diner fare when you're here.. It's been modernized and revised With healthier options while still keeping some of the oldies but goodies. Coffee and tea and fresh brewed iced tea as well as soft drinks are bottomless. When you get a cup of coffee you're not given a spoon or a stirrer so I went looking for set ups and they only come with forks and knives. That's OK I used my knife to stir the cream in my coffee No creamers or butter on the table so you have to get what they decide is right for you. I asked for my second cup of coffee and it was brought to me without creamers. So i just asked someone else who worked here and all they did was call my waitress from across the place so that was pretty embarrassing. The food here is really good. The pancakes are awesome. The bacon is fabulous. The coffee is really good. Its just the basic service is lacking. - You should get a spoon or stirrer with your coffee. - You Should be asked if you need cream or milk with your subsequent cups of coffee since there's none on the table. - If you get pancakes and they deliver the syrup In a teeny tiny little pitcher They should ask you if you have everything you need. Or stop Back to find out. I'm sorry but having to track my server down 3 or 4 times is unacceptable. And then when I was clearly finished I waited 15 minutes for my check even though I had my food and coffee cup pushed to the edge of the table as a sign. Some reviews also mentioned service as an issue so ill keep an eye out to see if its worth giving Silver another chance. I'd like to try back in order to up the stars. read more

My friends eat breakfast here every week and love it. Yesterday we had a different experience. I would say my breakfast was one of the worst ever. I ordered a simple breakfast - 2 eggs scrambled, potatoes and ham. When it came the potatoes were cold (like not even cooked). The rest of the meal was not warm either. The manager ordered me a new batch of potatoes. They came after I was almost finished eating and they were also cold. I didn't eat them (and I love potatoes). A horrible experience. read more

Service was extremely slow for a group of 8. Incorrect mismatched orders & missing items that arrived by the end of the meal. However the biggest most complicated issue here was in requesting gluten free options; while they were accommodating and assuring, even confirming that the substitute toast was in fact gluten free. It really screwed up my weekend cause it was not actually gluten free and halfway through the meal they brought the gluten free alternative when someone in the party advocated for the mistake. As of August 2024, I can no longer recommend this place, especially if you are gluten free... if you can't do gluten it's not worth trusting the staff at this location with your digestive system, could ruin your weekend. read more

I've never heard of this diner and thought that it was just gonna be another regular diner when I realized they carefully made the menu of healthier ingredients and variety. I loveee that they added more vegetables and had so many more options for me to choose from. I had the chicken noodle soup, which was really homey, and then the chicken pot pie, which was unexpectedly not too heavy or light with a good mix of ingredients. It was all so satisfying. My friend got their new menu item, which was some pasta with lamb meatballs, and I had a taste and was especially surprised. I normally feel like pasta can get too heavy and taste the same after every bite, but this also had so many ingredients. Service was fast and polite. The ambiance is similar to what you normally imagine a diner to be: cozy and bright. read more

WOW! Dashawn and Jamal were total rockstars! I came in on a Saturday night with a large group of over 40 people to celebrate my daughter's closing night of her last middle school play. Not only did the restaurant accommodate our loud and excited kids who were celebrating after a long day and two amazing performances, but they were cheerful and patient, dealing with many separate checks, and made the whole experience less stressful for us parents who were exhausted and still trying to manage all the crazy. And the food came out hot and quick, and orders were correct and everyone left full and satisfied. Many thanks!! read more

This was a basic diner. The Philly cheese steak was mid at best. Wasn't terrible but nothing I'd run back for.

I'm a long time customer of this location. My server was nice, but I do feel that the service and food have slightly declined at this location. After the server brought my plate, I grabbed my silverware. The first thing that I pulled out was a for and it wasn't cleaned. It had a white substance on it. Possibly a dried napkin? I waited 5 mins for the server to return, and showed her my fork and asked for a plastic fork. She said okay and brought the plastic ware back. Again, the server (Alaina) was nice, but she never brought this to her managers attention. Maybe because in between serving, she was sitting at a table with another coworker stuffing the silverware that was allegedly clean into the paper holders. Also, I had a child size napkin on my plate that was presented to me sitting on top of Hollandaise sauce in the picture. Lastly, the food was just edible in comparison to most other times. More than likely, I will stick to eating here earlier in the day, and not the early evening. On a regular day and past experience, I give this Silver Diner Location (Elkridge) a solid 4. This time it's a generous three with me giving them the benefit of a doubt. read more

1.1.22 Justice was our server and he was attentive. He brought us a stack of napkins without being asked. I had asked him about birthday offers before we placed our breakfast order as I didn't receive one this year. I was surprised he remembered to ask when he brought our order to us. Apparently now three visits annually are needed to receive a complimentary birthday offer. Years ago, I automatically received a complimentary entree and dessert without any restrictions. I haven't gone to the diner as frequently in recent years. My husband and I both ordered the Belgian waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything was good, but I would have preferred my bacon to be crispier. My husband and I both brought half of our waffles home. When I reheat it, I plan to toast it so it's crispier. I also ordered a hot chocolate and which came with whip cream. It was delicious, better than Starbucks IMO. My husband took a sip and thought it was too sweet. I have a sweet tooth so I loved it. I thought Justice provided exceptional service and our breakfast was good. read more

I'm so sad I don't have any Silver Diners near my house. Silver Diner was one of the first diners I've been to that have vegan options, which was a huge plus for my family and me! When we first sat down, we were distracted by the mini Jukebox system at the table. We all took turns choosing the songs that we wanted to hear play. Unfortunately, before we had to leave, we didn't hear any of our songs but it was still a cool experience to be able to see all of their choices throughout the Jukebox! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive! She was kind to talk to. The vegan option we ordered was the Meatless Tacos! My family devoured them! Lol If I ever see a Silver Diner again, I'm definitely stopping in! read more

I would like to start off by saying I reviewed Silver Diner approximately 3 years ago which was an easy 5 star review for the food, service and cleanliness. After recently dining here again, I must say the food is still great with large portions and the cleanliness is still maintained. However, our waiter was not personable or attentive at all. His approach was not a "hello" or "good morning" - rather, "what do you want?" While waiting for our food, we asked for refills of coffee which never came, nor did we bother to ask again. I don't like writing negative reviews as I feel every experience is what you make of it, but when staff is rude, unfortunately it's hard to overlook. I do recommend Silver Diner still, but I will preface by saying you may have a staff member who is a bit rude. read more

I ordered hickory smokehouse cheddar burger for pickup. The food was ready for pickup fairly quickly. The burger was delicious but little dry and the fries were ok (little mushy since it was pickup).

I must say based on the name, exterior, and inside ambience this is definitely not what I was expecting, but the food and service was great nonetheless! I thought I was coming to a more old-school diner with your standard diner fare... while the ambience is diner, the menu is anything but. The menu had a ton of creative options and a lot of healthier dishes as well. The farm-to-table things pretty routine back home, but they were very into sharing all of the more local places from which they sourced their food. That's awesome no matter where you go, so I was a big fan even before we started eating and drinking. The big test came after ordering mimosas and whether we'd get a champagne flute filled with 75% orange juice. I was elated to be delivered a wine glass with a fantastically proportioned mimosa. I would come back here again and again just for that (it's a rare thing to find!), but on top of that the food was pretty good as well. Despite the varied menu options, I just went with the scrambled eggs/toast/potatoes... it's my true breakfast love. I do hate when I order scrambled eggs and get a folded omelet with nothing in it, and that is how my eggs came out. Not uncommon, but I had high hopes. The food was good, no complaints otherwise. Moreover, our server Lakesha was an absolute gem. She was so fun to chat with, was attentive, and just made us smile/laugh every time she came over. I definitely hope to make it back here. read more

We drove 30 minutes to try Silver diner in Columbia. This was our first time. We were very appreciative that they were having indoor dining on Christmas Eve and during the pandemic. Social distancing was practiced and the staff wore masks. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was festive! Now let's discuss the food, I was so excited that they have so many vegan options. However, the food was just average at best. My blueberry pancakes were great better than expected. They came out hot and the flavor was there, almost cake like. All the turkey bacon was under cooked. We should have sent it back but we were rushing. My daughter Tried the avocado toast with salmon lox but it was very disappointing. It seemed like the avocado had ripened too much, it was a little brown. It had a funny taste. The fries were crispy and hot which made them good. My son's beef burger was ok. The atmosphere was good, the prices were fair but our server was just OK. Crystal (I believe that was her name) was a tad bit short. However, the greeter was awesome! Finally, keeping in mind that it was Christmas Eve we gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. I would recommend this Diner keeping in mind that it is a diner. And because they have indoor seating right now we might return. read more

We came in Saturday night with a very large group of middle schoolers after their school's musical... I think there were at least 70 people (kids and adults). Service was amazing - especially considering the circumstances - and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Kids and parents had a great time. The servers were very accommodating to separate out checks and combine kids and parents as requested. Thank you for helping to make the kids' weekend even more special! read more

The cast and crew of the MS play showed up there with over 70 people. The Silver Diner was extremely accommodating and patient with over 40 middle schoolers. Our servers were organized and efficient and the food came out quickly. We are beyond thankful and the kids had a great time. My only advice is to add the gratuity when it is such a large party. The kids were not sure what to do about the tip and we are sure our servers did not get as much as they deserved, but they didn't complain once and were very pleasant and helpful. Thank you! read more
